[SatelliteAV]

TP23 - 12115 is testing this afternoon and should be back up 100% before evening!

 

[Mr Tony]

cool. Glad to hear it

 

[Bulldog]

It's back on! Thanks again Brian for keeping us in the loop

[Mr Tony]

Yay! Doc Scott is back..now I can fall asleep easier

who needs sleeping pills? Watch Doc Scott for a little bit and a snoozing you will go

all 23 transponders are working????????

 

[Mr Tony]

TP23 (12115 V 22425) is working just fine. I dont know exactly how many TP's are on 97W off the top of my head

Looks like TP 17 12152 is dead here. Anybody else, Russia Today is gone.

 

[bubba108]

Well, on my box it's TP 17, LyngSat lists it at TP 26. Freq is 12152 on both.

 

[bubba108]

Checked it this morning and it is back on! I like keeping an eye on what the Rooskies are up to.

Tp19 on Galaxy25 ?

I liked the free radio channels on TP19 (12053 V) on Galaxy 25, since they had various music channels covering everybody's taste.......
I still got the signal , but there is no music anymore?
Can someone verify this for me ?
Thanks.

When will the switch from Galaxy 25 to Galaxy 19 take place?

 

[Mr Tony]

within the next month or so. They can test G19 for a month (starting 10/6) at a different spot then they'll move it to 97

I think it will be operational by Turkey Day (in the US )

Iceberg, dumb question: will we have to do any adjustments when G19 goes online since it will have a stronger signal?

 

[Mr Tony]

probably not. G19 will move to 97W and they'll do a swap (move the stuff from G25 to G19) late night/early morning.

to most folks they wont know the stuff moved until they possibly see the signal go up (hopefully)

That will be a nice Thanksgiving present!:

Okay, Thanks

That sounds about right. I think they have finished testing. Celestrak is showing Galaxy 19 at 141.8 degrees West and moving East at 1.47 degrees per day. At that rate, it should arrive at 97 degrees West in about 30 days.
